Gap Year in Victoria

Victoria, a city named after the British Queen, is quite reminiscent of the United Kingdom and its flair. British settlers came to the living areas, previously inhabited solely by native Americans, and built modernizing structures, making this area of land their central trade base. Despite the actions of the foreign settlers, native Americans still own some of the area apart from the local Legislature Building. British charm meets native American traditions! The oldest town in Canada is the perfect travel goal for your Gap Year after graduating from school, university or when you take a sabbatical year.

You can decide how long you would like to stay on your journey for, from anywhere between the spans of 3 to 12 months. You may also lengthen your visit upon request.
